What's The Matter With Kansas? (And the USA)

How can the misdeeds of 8 years be undone in less than 2? They can't. Yet the electorate is apparently expecting the impossible. Poised to turn back Democratic majorities, people are narrowly focused upon quick economic relief. While understandable, such a view both expects too much too soon and leaves aside other important issues. Various reforms have been put into place during the course of the current administration but these are largely ignored. Sadly, it's (only) the economy stupid, and it (apparently) had better be quick.

Years from now (hopefully) the textbook writers will take note of the 70 plus pieces of legislation that have been passed up to this point. Sadly, they may be the only ones to recognize them.
